  1. Hi, The same thing happened to my 92 LS400, I brought it to the transmission shop to check out the transmission mount, engine mount, everything seems to be fine, they could not find out what is wrong with it. Finally, I changed the tires (my older set was Firestone), because it is about time, and the problem is GONE. My suggestion to you is, balance the tires, or change them. Hope this help. Hat Be

  9. Hi, I got 92 LS400, the AC has a slow leak, I recharged R12 last July, and it is empty now. I call different shops and have these options: 1. Most shops recommend to convert to R134a and find leak, The conversion kit consist of a few adapters. 2. Find leak with R12 and die then fix later. Does anyone know if it is OK (safe) to convert from R12 to R134 after vacuum out all R12, or what else need to be repleaced? I really appreciate any feedback/suggestions. Thanks, HB
  10. Hi, I have some leak in the oil pan and transmission are of the 92 LS400, and I am planning to replace the gaskets.
